Yeah, if you put the standard springs from a Fiesta RS Turbo on your Mk3 Fiesta it will lower it by 25mm.

I'm pretty sure Escort springs don't fit on a Fiesta.

I thought it was 15mm too.

Personally I don't think its worth it unless you already have the springs.

RS Turbo springs new from Ford will be bloody expensive, if they even still have them in stock. It's probably cheaper just to get some Pi springs off ebay.
